Buyers Guide

Find your perfect blind

Choosing the right blind can be a daunting prospect. Get it right and it will transform your home, giving a stylish and chic finish to any room.

Our handy guide looks at each type of blind and their benefits, helping your make the right choice.

The starting point

Firstly, which room is your new blind intended for and are there any specific requirements you need. For example, in a bathroom you might need a moisture resistant blind. In a nursery your number one priority might be light control so you would need blackout material. Or an overlooked conservatory could need a blind to protect privacy. Do you want all your blinds to look the same from the outside to create a visual symmetry and kerb appeal?

Roller Blinds

One of our most popular blind. They offer a simple and effective way of controlling light and there is a vast range of colours, patterns, fabrics and styles. Roller blinds are great options for blackouts and can be water resistant too. Add finishing touches like eyelets, braids, poles, pulls and scallop edges to create a stylish statement.

Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds use a system of adjustable slats to admit or exclude as much light as you like. They can be controlled either by a pull cord or twisting a control rod. Venetian blinds are made from durable, long lasting materials such as metal or plastic to create an ultra-modern look.

Night & Day Blinds

These are roller blinds with an on-trend twist. They combine alternating transparent and solid strips creating a visually stunning blind. These work particularly well in living spaces, kitchens and conservatories.

Pleated Blinds

Pleated blinds have a slim profile and raise up to a very small neat stack allowing more light in when you want it. They can be fitted within a window frame which makes them the perfect choice for bi-fold doors and French doors.

Shutter Blinds

The pinnacle of window dressing, shutter blinds radiate chic elegance. Also known as plantation shutters they make a serious style statement. The slats can be angled, and the shutters opened right up to let in the light. Available in various colours and woods

Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are a luxurious option for any room. They fold down for complete privacy and are made with blackout material or lining. Available in a huge range of fabrics, patterns and colours, they will give your room an elegant and refined look.

Vertical Blinds

These are renown for their versatility. They consist of individual panels that hang vertically at the window. One of our most cost-effective solutions they can fully open either to open side or from the middle to both sides. Ideal for bay windows and sliding patio doors. They come in a huge range of colours and textures including blackout options. The vertical panels can also be machine washable in certain fabrics, and easily replaced for an updated look or just a freshen up.

Wooden Blinds

Wooden blinds work in the same way as venetian blinds with the slats made from either real wood or moisture resistant faux-wood. These come in various colours and natural hues, including the timelessly elegant white. Really create a statement by using a tape finish.

Velux & Skylight Blinds

Skylight blinds fit directly onto the skylight and offer a stylish way of dressing the window. They are available in roller or pleated style. Choose blackout material for a perfect bedroom skylight blind.

Electric Blinds

Electric blinds really combine practicality with the WOW factor. Ideal for large spaces, where no matter how many blinds you have, they can be opened, closed and adjusted at a push of a button. Electric blinds are easier to fit than you would imagine. With specialized systems and plug-and play technology, there’s no need to do in-depth work for the fitting or the power system.
